Whether from high school, college, law school, medical school, or what have you, graduation is a wonderful time of excitement and change.
How to mark the occasion? You can always write a check. (What new graduate doesn't need money?) Before you whip out your wallet, however, remember that cash is practical, yet very impersonal.
